yellow dress

I fell asleep
in my yellow dress
hours after choosing it
to impress
them


no quality of garments
could improve my rest
and my empty bed's a funny place
to invest
them

maybe just as stark
my other attempts
an empty hand's another funny place
to test them

even nights like this
the ones that left you carefree
laughing
even they exist
only in their brief
passing

the simple truth is this
very few have ever
done it
started out in bliss
to find the end is never
coming
